I work in the cannabis industry. It's an extremely regulated market. Tons of laws you have to follow in order to be in business. I tried explaining that to my new CEO whose father-in-law had just bought the company. He closed the door and screamed at me for five minutes because I wouldn't break the law for him. I left and never went back.
9 months later was yesterday. I went to a meeting for the state regulatory board for cannabis, where they approved the company to go into receivership (a third party will take over operations). The CEO walked out on the company, and took all his friends that he hired with him. They left 300+ employees leaderless, and their vendors unpaid. He couldn't handle the pressure and just quit and went home.
I got to listen to the regulatory board call it a case study on what never to do. It was glorious watching it all crumble.
